Four on Friday: Flag Day

Happy Flag Day! “In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.” (Wikipedia)

These are equally adorable and educational as they share great facts and figures about Old Glory in a fun and accessible way for kids. Definitely for a little older audience (young elementary school age) these are must reads for Flag Day, Independence Day or any other day of the year!
